Attention GTA Dwellers and Lovers of Delicious Pie,
Last year Katr and I bought a Thanksgiving apple pie from Pie in the Sky, which is an annual fundraiser that helps the Toronto People With AIDS Foundation provide meals to people living with AIDS.
It was, without a doubt, the BEST EFFING PIE I HAVE EVER HAD.
Last year, our pie purchase was a little last minute and I did not have time to adequately alert all you pie-lovers. But this year . . . this year, you too can get in on the hot pie action. And you SHOULD. Here's part of the official spiel:
Toronto 's top bakers, pastry chefs, caterers and celebrity chefs bake a variety of delicious pies (apple and pumpkin this year) that are then sold for $35. By purchasing a pie, you make it possible for Food for Life to provide 10 meals for someone homebound with AIDS.
I really feel like this fundraiser sells itself. A mere $35 provides 10 nutritious and tasty meals to a person living with AIDS in our community?? AND you get a gourmet PIE?? Bring it ON.
Pie in the Sky runs from October 5-6 (the dates the pies are ready for pickup), but ordering has already begun! You can pay by cash, cheque or credit card and there are a variety of convenient pie pick-up locations throughout Toronto.
How do you get your hands on one or more of these delicious pies? Well, my lovelies, you're in luck. My dear friend Charles just happens to be the Head Pie Peddler - he's not the Peculiar Purple Pie Man from Porcupine Peak, but he IS queer and occasionally wears purple. And he has created a special e-mail address just for you guys to contact him for pie: [email protected]
Just drop Charles a line with your name, pie preference (apple or pumpkin) and some contact info and he will be thrilled to set you up with your preferred payment option and pick-up locations. Tell him Large Marge sent you.
As for me, I've signed up for another apple pie this year. I've also volunteered to help distribute the pies, but I haven't heard back yet. Do they have enough volunteers already? OR DO THEY NOT WANT ME NEAR ALL OF THOSE DELICIOUS PIES?? History will decide.
